SINGAPORE - A 28-year-old man wanted by the police was arrested on Friday , but only after a public altercation in Esplanade Drive, where he managed to wrangle free of the officers after being tasered, and sparked a chase.
When officers approached him, the man was"uncooperative and incoherent", said the police in a statement on Friday evening. He continued to be aggressive despite repeated reminders to comply with the officers' instructions, and charged at one of them, police added. He then shook off several policemen who attempted to grab hold of him, appearing to strike at least one across the face before making a run for it. The officers gave chase as he weaved his way through the vehicles on the road.By then, however, the man had assaulted and injured two police officers, the police added.
